When Rackham had been given the task of illustrating Dickens’s A Christmas Carol (1915) twenty years earlier, he did not adequately explore the ghostly, supernatural aspects of the story in his designs. Rackham took a comprehensive, integrated approach to his work, considering all aspects of the publication carefully in order to create a cohesive object of design and give substance to Poe’s verbal imagery. In addition to designing the endpapers, Rackham produced designs for the cover, spine, and title page, as well as full-page color plates, partial-page illustrations, and a variety of vignettes. The book brings Poe’s tales of horror and suspense-including such favorites as “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” and “The Pit and the Pendulum”-together with the expressive illustrations of Rackham. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.Arthur Rackham created this captivating endpapers design for Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination, published in London by George G. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate tag instead. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright.
